fucker was put the pedal to the metal, and let's ride the next on d w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, the magic corner chat, hot spot, and some great culture memorial w travel off we go. the today on rev, the photo and mobility show, the iconic term, he gets a new electric lease on life wheelchair ride as you've never seen before. the old mania taxi that's still going strong after a 1000000 miles on the road. and

amc stoops up the baby pants with formula one technology the the eye clinic trip and the prostate called rolled the road in company left east. germany is by this time with an electric cars. we met the man who dare to sing cove with the new story is to stretch issues to the try. b is a part of the history started. it's really payments and hasn't called status on. so it's great to take it into an electric future due to close to feeling because another should turn this off the top cause. so it's hard to or fan say it has to make that knocking sound and stink

otherwise it's not a try be it's hard for me. but of course this electric version has a couple of practical benefits. let me look to see the search for the guns. i'm driving the whole time in 3rd gear and you know, because i don't need to really accelerate. it makes it feel a bit like an automatic the what began as a hobby from that to use that is no. a site business. the actually runs a cleaning company, which is where he and his team developed a try the conversion kids get this on behalf vitamins is i, we never wanted to come up with some kind of makes ship solution. but it was, it was for the commercial market which meant providing a version that was easy to use and performed well on the road. yeah. and, and kept the customer satisfied for them and as a way to, to feed this stuff done. the version is

a no frills affair in keeping with the turbine style to prevent but some things you just called to replicate. driving an electric tri b as an entirely different experience for the contents of a model comparison. when we're doing 70 and the noise you hear is more of the transmission than the car itself. the electric because it is possible with an each of them to model won't stop it out as a prototype in 2012 is now extended packaged to try this to either do the conversion themselves or have that do it. the 1st step is to got the vehicle address. now it's ready for the electric power train and keeps all the gasoline engine parts no longer needed, have been removed and seen out in each metal, out of the engine and attachments and the exhaustive, the original ignition. they're all gone it and the fuel tank, and that's, that's actually fitted upfront in

a turbulent tongue. it's all gone down an awful 9th, just bump up on that. is it? so now on this, we're ready to re bid it as an electric car. i have to find as an across to appreciate what electric trap a really means it helps to look back. at least gemini is but loved and hated automobile. a bunch of dates feel the trick. bond came from the state, carmakers ox in the ring, and stick out and was built there until the end of this. so let's skip out to post chevy road of the assembly line on november the 7th. 1957 via is typically face a 10 year wage and a price tag equal to reuse wages. if somebody was made of plastic fiber, composite resident, due to steel show today is the tragedy was also a manifestation of the shortages that typified east germany's economy. in gem and trip on its means companion or satellites. inspired by the soviet sputnik, the world's 1st artificial satellites. no. interesting to open that same. yeah.

sure. and to try be the call became the companion of east germans for generations as well. the others could meet was used for everything, making out, making babies, people slept, and then off camped out in them and covered the big distances in them. so as long as they had enough spare parts without nbc outside of mind, made out of the wheel. when people came back from a trip, the 1st question was not how was the vacation, but did the car hold our hats and you'd sometimes see alternators discard it on the side of the auto bomb this machine to the whole martin. the most of the track, the drive is always carried extra spark plugs and loans as a substitute. sun belt, the car itself weighs in a just on the 600 key. those it's lightweight, makes it ideal for electric conversion as it needs less hello. the

eclipse model. we fit a 12 kilowatt motors, which means it has the same output as the gasoline power turbine to be sold. and it's really important for the vehicle licensing that we don't change the performance of funds loosed funds off of this in the fall. i assume we've done t on tips for these are electric batteries. we put in 30 or 60 depending on the ranges or those sections district. i think about them. yeah, i mean that's how strategic here. we see the heart of every e v. the battery pack and keeps puffy like the original chubby design. i'm a t as fast electric conversion kit is no frills. just the batteries charges m p 's books in the back and the mesa upfront research as well. i'm supposed to i'm, we wanted to retain the trib bonds, simplicity useful. in other words, no complicated controls and electronics, and according on to come,

there are some different components. the problem is how, for example here we have the main monitor class injury band and classic car style. it has a battery display which currently shows 100 percent buys build. this particular d i y converted to a band is almost ready mathias bag gives the added pumps and general setup a check before tossing it onto the official testing center. we're done now the car can go up to the inspectors and have them unplugged and ready to roll. the only thing holding back each probably is about 3 range in the old days try the drive has faced a different kind of limit to them. thanks to the cold who have a live or kind 2 boys. they never really were assembled freedom. hyatt,

the lowest night freedom came in 1989 when the wall came down and on the properties drove across into the west noise and yacht. all that was freedom always for fi, really they were a symbol of mismanagement, centralized economy and material shortages monitor. they'll trust the food if the will meant the end of the try me to that. what he is among the workers at the section ring factory, as the last of the 3000000 units rolled off the production line in 1991 troubles with become increasingly ret, in the unified gemini before then. no sound you come back up on is where the items are stated. now got a passionate fanbase suggests enough, and they're even considered a financial investments as to how to unlock it. they've practically become vintage modelers. find lots of fans or fixing them up to look better than when 1st bill college knows that that definitely gets the emotions going to affect, showing them what's holding of him. fine. they're still around 50. 8000 treviss and

weird and wonderful varieties in germany today for the growing share of electric edison. disclose the misfortune as people make the wrong equation, that a simple car means low price of this i unfortunately not to initial price. that is because of the high quality lithium batteries we installed that are now standard in modern cars. you to impact seen i and the strong, and that's the cheapest price factor. of course, that's just not the front. the hub price coming into it costs 22000 euros for the d i. y kits for 27000 cups to have a cock invented by the city 16. the exhaust take opinion of the causes even lead to the grace of try b. safari ease in violins with tourists can cruise around the caustic sites of the oven jungle and now as cool. sarah electric addition to the

it's a venture driving it's been to with the with the, the road to the. busy one on north face of the sofa. and of course the trip the trip takes in the check point. charlie, the most famous border crossing between east and west funding and more find his escape. pretty amazing. being at the wheel of a trip onto the check point, charlie on. it makes you kind of emotional and very proud. a new age is doing so the try b. s. the coach coming this come sign of the powers into the future without sleeping of the stink behind the if you one more rev, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world,

but it's like god you said we gotta do is why don't we take we take the box test lot stuff. well, it's nice to have the mig, that's quite a combination. obviously. lab, visa seascape forwarding is folks of lifestyle and of sports and encourages others to try it, offering workshops and towards across through many months here in berlin, where ski photos show off their skills. really i got an open group. nothing escape . what's the and i've only been mix, you know? and i looked as though people in the is that's, do they hired the thieves? was you out there and i need somebody to mental stuff, none on my job as well. kind of, i know it was except saying the names in as on as, as an interest. give us the nicest thing. of course, these are no ordinary wheelchairs. the spectacular stunts need reinforced. and spring mounted chairs like i think i must move on in the 500 items here. but if you

think about what you're going to do, you've local windows springer and he's like done, okay, scales on and what's on us. the pizza has used a wheelchair since he was 21. when he fell down a flight of stairs leading him with paraplegia was this i took a foot the on the 4 foot the on is that $15.00, it's up to the front of the semester, but it wasn't all simple via and because she was and what's your and and be super bowl. she's the ones that have multiple ones. uh and the most scary movies are the longest, the coins defense from that point on that we've developed it himself to skating. he's since one the world championship in 2014 to german championships. and finished the 3rd and several events in the us was candles. i finished scanning the flu shot for me. that would also be my thought to the vin, of in the mind. and then contest this dentist and munitions of models. so it on the

video, my bestest game, when british organizations run and village all that's is usually the students vision dealt with this and they were, competitions are plenty worldwide, most organized by the wheelchair motor across society, skaters from across germany fluffed to the berlin, open the 1st competitive event since the start at the pen demik loose or was a member of the jury. after all, as a multiple champions, he's a role model for young people. and not just when it comes to performing not finding christmas pretty kids in wasted us. for middle hon. print was an open, worst of that's what the transition destroyed. he picks up cuz i'm going to come, you'll see there's nothing. i'm hoping you must in the out of the, of the talk would have you come down and um its off. when does his inbox must be buying a pulse needs to be in wheelchairs. fading is classified as an extreme sport. hardly anyone leads the whole without freezes. to guard against more serious

injuries, especially to the head and neck, everyone wears how miss sam protective gear. that way even the youngest can convert their dedication and motivation into results. in tom bussey and in that side all side and void one, does he have a good job on this? doesn't seem good on is what is on that often sort of sports division has the sun set. so for, for land, there's a sense of community inclusion and accomplishment amongst all the wheelchair skaters that the events living proof of the power of the mind to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. the

drama, post marketing to be the delta bar or something to move your try. first i'm a party that i do not know from the office. i'm of them. yeah. probably why we buy the mess or let them. yeah. or, or, you know, see dog i jump on, you the more show you that her name on

the board, the purple won't be able to come up with your support there. so just hold on to just search your boss. interested in this poll often does the planning and a very good the . yeah. most of the people of them are too busy working back from the law offices

of the folding chairs books. it when it comes down to the swans or the alarm bells won't. it's just our 40 mazda did go to model and put them back on the phone. yeah, those are

the for the for the yeah, i'm here for not for them by february in by the fact that the to do for sure. most of the, the job, the guy genuine, even though you don't have a drop, this will be obtained by on our model. so to bump a big part of the,

to do baldwin looked on good to go. no, just give or the to the this is a m g 's, new c 43, a 480 horse power c class. mercedes is seeking to establish itself as a more exclusive luxury brand. and the entry level and b class models are being discontinued from 2026. so from that on the c class will revert to being the brands smallest model. but how does the suit up see class available as a sedan or where i can fit into then luxury car strategy is the c 43,

a certified sports car or more in up market cargo carrier. its predecessor was the 190 sedan, launched in 1982 and tapped the baby bins in the us due to its 4.4 meter length. the 190 and its successors were successful contenders and the german touring car championships before withdrawing in 2018. the a m g base model at the time, the 190 e with a 2.5 liter costs worth the engine was limited to just 500 units today and original condition evolution or evo to sales 430-0000 euro. the one ninety's era as the smallest merc was ended in 1997 by this curious looking some contacts with some critics questioning, it's mercedes credentials. it was the birth of the a class. the, however, the car makers venture into the less lucrative and less glamorous sub compact

segments is set to end after almost 3 decades. from 2026, anyone looking for a low price? mercedes will likely have to fork out at least $44000.00 euros based on today's prices. for the c 182, a while mercedes promises luxury on 4 wheels, it's am cheese job to provide exclusive visuals and tower. the range of options fashioning the desired look and they've added race, car engineering to give the 4 cylinder engine the right kind of performance. the on paper, the c 43 performance looks very impressive. with

a 2 liter 4 cylinder engine generating 480 horsepower. that's quite an achievement for a paltry 4 cylinders, less impressive or the high c o 2 emissions at more than doubled the 2022 in the standard. the. with the cars loose function drivers have 500 newton meters of torque available. that rockets the c 43 to 100 kilometers and now we're in 4.6 seconds. not bad for a 4 cylinder unit. the blue secret behind that surprising power is a little electric turbo assistance courtesy of formula one was going to want to

involve it. we wanted to make a highly efficient and 4 cylinder engine with an output of, in this case, 300 kilowatts into it. but with the agility of a larger unit, the development can be pet on his costs will make more to us dollars. we look to our colleagues from formula on 16, bahamas, and they'd faced the very same conflict at the start of the hybrid era and start the fewer cylinders to lower displacement and, and extremely high output. explain where like the classic turbo charger needs exhaust energy that the turbine wheel transmits to the compressor and we'll look at and then gradually builds us with the lines. but depending on the size can lead to a delay called turbo lag or the like. this is where the motor comes in, come to instead of waiting for the exhaust gas energy. so you can use it for instantaneous boost pressure a lot at work and you get feedback from the regular engine a lot sooner. um, which gives you a far more spontaneous and very linear response to the entire engine instrument kind of a scaling, the amazon just like the hard for them because i'm the,

any drawbacks fans of loud engines will find the sound experience a bit nude. and that's my deaf in their enthusiasm for the powerful performance of the high output. it's also a complaint often made about formula one cars of a hybrid era. the c $43.00 is fuel economy is also nothing to get excited about. although careful drivers could squeeze 9 leaders per 100 kilometers out of it, which looks good compared to other high powered cars. the this 40 station wagon can accommodate between 460 and 1480 leaders of cargo. in line with m g tradition, the black with hands of red interior is 40 looking. the seats have been reworked

for better lateral support and stability, including on longer journeys. the steering wheel has an excessive array of controls . perhaps a m g. fans will like the high tech look, but it seems to be an acquired taste. to sum up, the new see class is a comfortable mid size and a distinct least 41. thanks to am g is 43 engine and both styling but prices for this new baby bens are steep starting at some 73000 euros in germany. we've reached the end of the road for now. see you next time on the,
